2. He's born in a stable for you and for me, Draw near by the bright gleaming starlight to see, In swaddling clothes lying, so meek and so mild, And purer than angels, the heavenly Child. 3.

Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today, Lift up little hands now, and praise Him as they; Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast, And join in the song of the heavenly host. 5.

5 2. He's born in a stable for you and for me, Draw near by the bright gleaming starlight to see, In swaddling clothes lying, so meek and so mild, And purer than angels, the heavenly Child. 3. See Mary and Joseph with love-beaming eyes Are gazing upon the rude bed where He lies, The shepherds are kneeling, with hearts full of love, While angels sing loud hallelujahs above. 4. Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today, Lift up little hands now, and praise Him as they; Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast, And join in the song of the heavenly host. 5. Dear Christ Child, what gifts can we children bestow By which our affection and gladness to show? No riches and treasures of value can be, But hearts that believe are accepted with Thee. 6. Our hearts, then, to Thee we will offer today, We offer them gladly, accept them, we pray, And make them so spotless and pure that we may Abide in Thy presence in heaven for aye.

Hymn The Friendly Beasts 1. Jesus our brother, kind and good Was humbly born in a stable rude And the friendly beasts around Him stood Jesus our brother, kind and good. 2.

6 Hymn The Friendly Beasts 1. Jesus our brother, kind and good Was humbly born in a stable rude And the friendly beasts around Him stood Jesus our brother, kind and good. 2. "I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown, "I carried His mother up hill and down; I carried her safely to Bethlehem town." "I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown. 3. "I," said the cow, all white and red "I gave Him my manger for a bed; I gave Him my hay to pillow His head." "I," said the cow, all white and red. 4. "I," said the sheep with curly horn, "I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm; He wore my coat on Christmas morn." "I," said the sheep with curly horn. 5 "I," said the dove from the rafters high, "Cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry; We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I." "I," said the dove from the rafters high. 6. Thus every beast by some good spell In the stable dark was glad to tell Of the gift he gave Emmanuel, The gift he gave Emmanuel.

7 Angels We Have Heard on High

8 Away In a Manger Hymn Go Tell It on the Mountain

Go Tell It on the Mountain Infant Holy, Infant Lowly 1. Infant holy, infant lowly, for His bed a cattle stall; oxen lowing, little knowing Christ the Babe is Lord of all.

9 Go Tell It on the Mountain Infant Holy, Infant Lowly 1. Infant holy, infant lowly, for His bed a cattle stall; oxen lowing, little knowing Christ the Babe is Lord of all. Swift are winging angels singing, noels ringing, tidings bringing: Christ the Babe is Lord of all, Christ the Babe is Lord of all. 2. Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping vigil till the morning new saw the glory, heard the story, tidings of the gospel true. Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow, praises voicing, greet the morrow: Christ the Babe was born for you. Christ the Babe was born for you. Infant holy, infant lowly, Paraphraser: Edith M. G. Reed (1921), Tune: W ZLOBIE LEZY

10 O Little Town of Bethlehem

The First Noel The first Noel, the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter s night that was so deep.

11 The First Noel The first Noel, the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter s night that was so deep. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! Born is the King of Israel! They look-ed up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! Born is the King of Israel! And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! Born is the King of Israel! Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in his presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! Born is the King of Israel! Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heav nly Lord, Who hath made heav n and earth of nought And with his blood mankind has bought. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! Born is the King of Israel!

17 Little Lessons while looking at a manger The Animals Job 12:7 9 7 But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; 8 or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. 9 Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? Joseph and Mary Matthew 1: But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Baby Jesus Luke 2:7 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Shepherds Luke 2:8 9 8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. Wise Men Isaiah 60:3 3 And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. O Little Town of Bethlehem
